Sip an expertly crafted cocktail
At Gold Bar (goldbarhobart.com.au), a cosy speakeasy hidden in an old flour mill at Hobart’s heart, they don’t do menus. Just let owner and bartender Ian Reed pepper you with questions – Do you like a lemony gin or a botanical one? Something fruity or spicy? – and he’ll create your new favourite cocktail.
The Den (theden.com.au) on Salamanca Place is as much about the atmosphere as the drinks. This moody underground space is panelled with rich timber and rough stone, making visitors feel like they’re drinking deep within the wilderness.
